Story Behind The Song

Inspired by true story of best friend

Song Description

Life and love do not always follow the same path and tough decisions need to be made

Lyrics

The Acrobat

I chart a course for a new horizon
Will I sail to glory or get lost in the storm
As I turn to look to my true companion
I realize I'm navigating alone

One love, two worlds colliding
Do you have room for compromise
Feels like a lifetime of deciding
On the road that I must take, who's heart will I break

Like a wounded acrobat, I struggle to find a balance
The winds that brought me here keep knocking me down
But I'll get back up again, give myself a second chance
Determination carries me homeward-bound

One love, two worlds colliding
You don't have room for compromise
Feels like a lifetime of deciding
On the road that I must take, who's heart will I break this time?

My roots are digging deep, as the incline's growing steep
Memories of you I'll keep, but I've got to move on
And as the moment nears, I see a flash of all our years
A bitter souvenir, as I welcome the new dawn

One love, two worlds colliding
I tried so long for compromise
And now I've finally decided
On the road that I must take , your heart is bound to break...as will mine
